Three Tiers

A Three-Tier System in Washington, Oregon and California

Columbia Distributing’s top priorities are the safety and satisfaction of its customers. We abide by the federally mandated three-tier system to guarantee safe delivery and sales of our brewers’ and importers’ beverages. Movement from supplier to state-based distributor to retailer to consumer ensures integrity of product, efficient service and legal usage. We respect the high level of accountability that comes with our place in the industry, and we’re committed to discouraging sales to minors and unsafe consumption of the alcoholic beverages we carry.
